Converting to a Wallas

sailor-d · Posted: Thu May 11, 2006 1:48 pm Post subject: Wallas Install

Just completed installation of Wallas 85DU cooktop and blower lid. It is a redesigned and upgraded model - Finnish artistry in engineering I have seen it described.
Installation went well and it flashed up on the first light and then shut down after a bit of heat - maybe because of a dry system? It lit up and worked flawlessly on the second light. Fuelled with K1 clear kerosene.
I ordered it from Scanmarine, Seattle - excellent people to deal with.

cheers - Dave

Steve:

I have a Wallas 125 DU in my 22. I installed it using an aluminum adaptor plate I fabricated to cover the Origo cutout and disperse the heat from the Wallace. No modification of the countertop is needed. The other installation considerations are connecting to 12 volt power, mounting the control and installing the thru-hull exhaust fitting. All are fairly easy, but you need to be very particular on where you drill the hole for the thru-hull.

With that said, I am remodeling my galley and will be selling the Wallace complete with the adaptor and exhaust system, manual, and shipped to you in the original box. You have first dibs on it for only $1k! It has always worked great on either diesel or kerosene, but I prefer kerosene because you don't have to biocide it and it smells a little nicer.

Let me know if you want it, otherwise I'll let it go to the next Brat in line. I can have it out and on it's way in a day.

Have fun!

Hey Roy!

Nice to hear from you!

If you don't mind me asking, what modifications are you planning for the galley? Always interesting choices to be made, problems to solve.

Joe.

Roy,

Thanks so much for the offer, but my alcohol stove and heater setup are now exactly how I want it. Offer it to anyone who would like to convert to a Wallas stove/heater, great price.

Like Joe (and others) would like to know your plans for the galley.

Thanks again.

I think when DOD Dan was running his Wallas for 72 hours straight he was making full strength coffee (and apparently drinking it all.) LOL.

Joe, Steve and the group

Good to be back on the site...been doing lots of traveling, but the big hangup was the trauma of buying a new laptop, changing providers and dealing with the new headaches!

I have to appologize, I didn't look at the dates of the posts, so my info for Steve was a little stale...anyway I will have the Wallas 125 DU available if anyone needs one. The "Big Plan" calls for redoing the cabinets and going with propane for cooking and heat. We have been cooking with propane for years and using the Wallace for heat.

However......we have had a change of plans since my last post. I have a time eating project that just popped up and I won't be able to get to the galley remodel before we leave for the Northwest around June 1, so the Wallace will have to stay onboard for awhile, but will be available sometime in the fall. I'll repost it when we get back.

Come to think of it, I also have the original Origo alcohol stove if anyone needs one of those.

Later, Roy

Sounds like the makings for a "fall garage sale" Roy. Have fun up North!

Great news to report on the Wallas 1300. Had a chance to use it a couple of times, once at night during 'movie hour' and once underway. Ran it for 2 1/2 hrs while watching a movie, all windows closed except 1 opened 1/2", about 45-50 deg out. Cabin was comfortable, not overheated like I thought with 4,000 Btu output. Another day was motoring in nasty weather, got a bit chilly, reached over flipped on the heater, wonderful. Looks like this will work perfectly for my needs on my CD-25!
